Jerome Park Friends and Neighbors joined a group of 17 volunteers in restoring Washington’s Walk at the south end of Jerome Park Reservoir to its former glory on Saturday, July 21. Washington’s Walk/Fort Four dates back to 1777 as the colonial landscape was being altered by the Revolutionary War and was the largest fortification in the neighborhood.
Lawrence Santarelli and Debra Travis were eager to revitalize Washington’s Walk.
